The St. Baldrick’s event is this Sunday (April 8th) at the Hilton Mystic. It is NOT TOO LATE to donate or participate! Remember, you do NOT have to shave or buzz to participate or fundraise. Our goal is to raise money to support effective, kid-specific treatments so that kids who get cancer have a better chance for a brighter, healthier future. We’d love to see you in Mystic! https://www.stbaldricks.org/teams/SJSsabers/
On Thursday 3/29, the SJS 1st grade Daisy Troop 10646 learned about respecting authority as part of earning a petal for their uniform. A special Thank You to Mrs. Zorger for coming in to talk to the girls about her job as principal, the rules they must follow and why it is important to respect authority. Thank you also to our Junior helpers Madeline and Samantha (4th grade).
A special thank you gift of Girl Scout cookies were given to Mrs. Zorger, Mrs. Sager, Miss Labowski and Mrs. Alexander for all of their support and accommodation of our Troop during this school year.

SJS Soccer games for the middle school teams are currently scheduled to start on April 7th with the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teams expected to start the following week.
We just received notification (3/29), however, that all fields are “until further notice” and will be evaluated next week. That means no soccer practice Wednesday April 4 and we will need to wait to see if games for the 6th, 7th and 8th grades can be played on April 7.
Attached HERE is a coupon sent to us from Dick’s Sporting Goods for 20% off your purchase of select items today through April 3rd.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Dr. Seuss Book & Art Club this month, Mrs. Sabatella and Mrs. Carpenter hosted a second session yesterday. Here are some cute pictures of the kids and the 8th grade volunteers who helped with the group.
